Chapter 41 - Captured

Zaya! The cosmic being spoke her mouth shivering.how is this possible, I did not mean to kill you.

I didn't know you were the one said the cosmic being. She then began removing the zig zag swords from her body slowly.

Zaya could barely hear again as death had began welcoming her to it's domain.

In expense of the pain Zaya then muttered, am sorry I failed you old self, I promise that I won't fail again.

immediately she spoke this words the blazing energy swords stuck to Zaya's body began dimming, the energy rushing into her body at a quick rate.

Zuri let go of the swords dumbfounded at what was happening.

Some how Zaya had become a temporary host for the zig zag sword's power.

You were right, Zuri said to herself I know nothing about the fox clan after all.

Zaya's body levitated from the ground where she had laid, Zuri stepped backwards noticing the white energy that had began encompassing her body.

The sword that was stuck to her stomach broke into pieces. The wound immediately closing up.

Her eyes glowing in bright White she then spoke, it is time I finish this spar

You do not understand, said the cosmic being.

it's me Zuri, your friend and room mate from the archaeology university.

This is all a misunderstanding, a thoughtful look appeared on Zaya's face.

Which immediately vanished as she landed on the ground getting hold of the neck of the cosmic being.

You liar!

Roared Zaya you can't deceive me.

Zuri's neck began crushing as the power that befell Zaya became inconsequential.

Zuri tried to remove the grip but it was no use, she moved recklessly trying to get the grip off her neck but Zaya didn't let go.

The strength in the cosmic being faded until she could no longer move. Zaya then threw her far into the sky, her body bolted at immeasurable speed until she was out of sight.

The glow in Zaya's eyes cleared, she tried to move but she couldn't. She fell on her knees, staring at the shattered pieces of the sword on the ground.

Zaya groaned as she hit the ground hard finally blacking out. The sword had come with a price.

Zaya eyes opened slightly adjusting to the dim red light, she tried to move but she couldn't, she felt like she was trapped in a box.

She struggled but the gap was too close.

She activated her innate fox form but for some reason, she couldn't change as it neck hurt badly.

She tried to reach her neck with her hand and then realized an iron collar has been kept around it.

How could this be possible said Zaya to herself who dares capture me?

Zaya didn't know how long she's been kept in the cage, but she's been there for a long while now and was starving terribly.

She pugnaciously waited trying to keep her focus on something else, about how the cosmic being turned out to be Zuri her archaeology friend.

No wonder she could vanish without trace during the attack on the University Zaya thought to herself.

She remembered the Phoenix emblem, it was broken.

England wass yet to be safe, she needed to find the crimson gem and use it to trace the diamond stone and get her memories back. It all seemed basic but Zaya knew it wasn't going to be that easy.

Beep. Beep..

The cage sounded. Zaya was excited it was finally time to know where and who captured her the cage door flong open. Zaya crawled out of it gasping for air.

She stood up from the ground on her left and right were so many other small cages at least two dozen on each sides.

Many other people also came out of it.

They all wore red prison outfits, including Zaya with iron collars fixed around their neck.

A loud hiss came out of Zaya's collar, she grabbed it trying to break it, the collar immediately shocked her causing her to feel pain in her neck and hand.

Zaya sighed, a voice came out from the collar asking her to move forward she saw all of her prison mates had began moving she joined in.

They matched outside the bright rays of the sun shimmered on Zaya's face, she was glad as it's been a while since she's seen the yellow orange ball dancing in the sky.

Outside was what seemed like a cage but bigger with gym equipments all around the place the ground was sandy barely a sight of grass anywhere.

Zaya walked forward as she immediately sat in a corner staring at the very large prison building. To her it was heartless that they kept them in those small boxes while the prison was so big.

Zaya remembered her mother, wondering what exactly she was doing or if she was worried about her. Zaya could see a group of hefty men had gathered and we're staring directly at her.

Zaya didn't wish to cause trouble she wasn't the only lady here, she immediately turned staring at what seemed like an infinite expanse of sand.

Over the speaker attached to a part of the building a voice spoke bring 84 to my office now. Two security guards rushed in immediately tieing Zaya's hand with chains.

As they dragged her back into the prison they strutted through some hallways and rooms before they got to their final destination.

One of the security men knocked on the door, come in, a voice from inside spoke.

They opened the door entering the office. Sitting on a chair a table at his front was an old man. He adjusted his glasses as he said.

Is this the new fugitive?

Yes one if the security men answered, Welcome to the half blood prison, you know have always hated you animals.

Here you are meant to eat and drink once wet month but because am generous I made it three months and wouldn't it be fun to eat the sand outside instead of normal food after all you are an animal.

Zaya was irritated at the old man words she tried to summon her two purple swords but nothing happened shebten realized she'd left the Phoenix emblem during her battle with Zuri.

The old man then spoke take it away the security men turned as all three of them walked out of the office.

Shutting the door behind them they had a loud cry coming from inside the office the security officers immediately opened the door back seeing their boss has laid flat on the ground probably dead or unconscious.

Before the security men could think of their next move their heads exploded! Zaya was shocked.

She tried to run from the scene but a familiar voice from the office yelled stop!

You can't run away from me not forever
